The government should bring in a rent control system in place. depending on the area, it should dictate the price per sq feet of the property. Also, owners should be able to increase rents once every 2 years only (Max 5 %). this should apply to commercial as well as residential properties.

i feel this is one way of bringing the sky high rents in control.

as for the issue of illegal partitions, i tend to both agree and disagree with regards to the ban.

The government must ban illegal partitions only after the housing situation is affordable.
